Notes
This command should be run on a machine that you are an administrator of, as well as in an elevated PowerShell session; before the certificate is uploaded, this cmdlet uses the local X.509 store to retrieve the thumbprint and key, and if this cmdlet is run outside of an elevated PowerShell session, you will receive an "Access denied" error.
